| THE CASHIER BELIEVES THAT THE BONDS WERE
TAKEN MONTH AGO WHEN Tue COUPONS
WERE CUT.
BosTOv, Sept tSpeciaD.-A dispatch to The
Journal from Saoo Me-. says that no trace has yet
been fonnd OF Frank T. McNeilIy, the young bank
robber. Much excitement created there this
morning by the circulation of tho rumcr that the
bonds stolen were not registered and that AsNeilly
could easily dispose of them. That Is not true, ac-
cording to the statement OF the bank examiner. The
rumor that McNely speculated In stocks is also abso-
lutely without foundation. Inquiry at the various
livery stables shows that the rumors f his extrava
gance In hiring teams or saddle hcrses have been
greatly exaggerated This narrows dow the methods
OF McNeillys living beyond his means to tho money
expended IN dress and on dances and parties.
The theory that other hands planned the deed lacks
confirmation and the only suspicious thing In Nc
Nelly's acts still unaccounted for is his frequent
visits to Portland without the knowledge OF his
friends. II on these trips he planned the robbery
with persons unknown 10 Saco, the haul that he made
will hardly compensate them tor their trouble. The
most charitable conclusion to be drawn, and the one
that his nearest friends incline to. is that he tonnd
himself unable to meet, with mis- limited income only

his position eutaed upon him ana that, troubled by
